treeskinThe BoyChild is intently paging through one of my reprints of Weldon's Practical Needlework (volume 3, I think, circa 1895), and has thus far resisted every attempt to take it away from him. He seems to be fascinated by the crazy quilting section.
In projecting news, when looking for the yarn for the big afghan, I found a stack of squares already assembled into 4-square blocks. So the fifth row is done, and I've got enough put together to do most of the sixth row.
I think the final product will need to have a border, which will mean at least 2 more skeins of yarn. But I may need more anyway, just to get it all put together.
In order to maintain my motivation, I keep telling myself that finishing this will empty 2 or 3 boxes. and morw in the long run, because leftover squares will go into another afghan for The Miss. She's been trying to steal this one all day.
